Magnolia News

KOMO meteorologist Scott Sistek says it won't snow tomorrow in Magnolia-- he laughed when I asked-- which is a good thing, since a thousand people are expected to out  for the annual Magnolia Village Holiday Open House, traditionally held the Friday before Thanksgiving.

It begins at 5:30 p.m. with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Magnolia Garden Center.

West McGraw Street will be closed from 32nd Avenue W. to 34th Avenue W. for the event.
        
Many businesses open their doors and provide  refreshments to celebrate the season.

Still reeling from a recent power outate? Get this: The Seattle City Council voted 5-4 today to increase City Light rates 13.8 percent effective January 1.

KOMO's Bryan Johnson reports that council members said the increase was necessary to preserve the utility's bond rating, to make repairs, and to close a budget deficit.

The rate increase will affect all Seattle customers.

We've written about Magnolia's Seattle Pie Company before so we're thrilled learn they're now available at all six Metropolitan Market locations.

Pie-baker Alyssa Lewis and her husband, Patrick, started the bakery café at 3111 West McGraw in mid-July, with Alyssa and her baking team are at the ovens at 4:30 a.m. Sales have exceeded their expectations.

It's the moment you've all be waiting for... The Queen Anne/Magnolia neighborhood district council meets tonight at 7 at the Queen Anne/Magnolia Neighborhood Service Center, 160 Roy St.

This includes the neighborhoods of Interbay, Magnolia, and Queen Anne.
